Probably give that one to the viper, depending on the weight and gearing of the vehicles?

what do you think? The viper it weighs less has better aerodynamics and has 250 more rwhp on the t/a. Even if the t/a gets the jump it wont hold off the viper for long.

If the T/a is alot of weight reduction and good traction it could win.

Thats what I think. Viper weighs 3550, T/A has nothing done to it by way of weight reduction.

But 50-150 is like 10 seconds, right? A big smack of spray just might do it.

The Viper will win but the Trans am with 650rwhp and 300shot is close 1000rwhp if the Nitrous setup is good so I think the T/A Will put a good fights.

if this race happens you better post in car vids man.

If this is an actual race please for the love of the sport get it on video.

Also - Viper but it will be close. Anything above the 150 mark and the Viper will put on cars by the second.

The one that gets there first always wins. Post some results once the race happens.
